Holy crap I made a quilt - like from start to finish. The first thing larger then a table runner that I have finished in fact so far. And I seriously thought it would never get done! I started it in June for my brother's birthday at the end of July. I finished it at the end of September. BETTER LATE THEN NEVER, TOMMY.
Its 60" x 72" and definitely a "don't look too close" kind of a thing, since it was my first thing so big.... and it was even larger then I was prepared for. But, being a non-crafty guy, brother won't care or probably even notice the mistakes. The quilting is in the long black areas with white thread, vertical lines roughly 1/4" apart. In hindsight I probably should not have chosen such a contrasting color since you can see every imperfection, but it does look very cool. I love it though, for all its time consuming-ness and issues since it is my first finished real quilt.
Pattern is Balanced Connections from here. And those Atari and Pac Man prints by Timeless Treasures? Awesome.
